If you want to get a haircut in Paralives, you need to go to the Barber Shop and choose the hairstyle you want.
Paralives gives you plenty of freedom to customize your Para, but getting a haircut is handled through an in-world location instead of a simple menu shortcut. If you are trying to update your Para’s hairstyle, beard, or overall appearance, here is everything you need to know.

Where to find the barber shop in Paralives
The barber shop is located to the left of the Eastern Railway area near the park. It is fairly easy to recognize once you know what to look for because the building uses the classic red, blue, and white barber color theme on the exterior. If you are exploring the neighborhood for the first time, focus on the commercial buildings surrounding the railway and green park spaces.
The first time you arrive, you should enter the building so the game properly loads the interior. Until you do this, some interactions may remain unavailable. After visiting once, the shop becomes much easier to use for future haircuts.
Why the barber shop may not work immediately
A common issue players encounter is arriving too early in the day. The barber shop in Paralives only becomes operational starting at 9:00 a.m. If you arrive before opening hours, the interaction prompt for getting a haircut may not appear.
Fortunately, Paralives includes time controls in the lower-right corner of the screen. You can simply fast-forward time until the shop opens.
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Cannot interact with barber chair | Wait until 9:00 a.m. |
| Interior not visible | Enter the building once |
| Hair menu not appearing | Right-click the barber chair |
| Changes not saving | Press the check mark button |
How to get a haircut in Paralives
Changing hairstyles is straightforward once the shop is open and your Para is inside.
Step 1 – Travel to the barber shop
Head toward the Eastern Railway area near the park and locate the barber shop building with the recognizable striped barber colors outside.
Step 2 – Enter the building
Walk your Para inside the shop. This helps unlock the interior interactions and allows the barber station to function correctly.
Step 3 – Wait for opening hours if necessary
If the shop is closed, use the fast-forward controls until the clock reaches 9:00 a.m.
Step 4 – Interact with the barber chair
Move your cursor over the barber chair and right-click it. A new interaction option labeled “Get Haircut” should appear.
Selecting this option opens the full customization interface.
Step 5 – Choose a new hairstyle
Inside the customization menu, you can browse through different hairstyles for your Para. The game also allows adjustments to facial hair, making it possible to completely refresh your character’s appearance in one visit.
Depending on your current character setup, you may see multiple hairstyle categories and beard options available.
Step 6 – Save the new appearance
Once you finish customizing your Para, click the large check mark button in the upper-right corner of the screen. This confirms and saves all hairstyle and facial hair changes.
Can you change facial hair at the barber shop?
Yes. The barber shop is not limited to hairstyles alone. The same customization menu also includes facial hair options, allowing you to add or remove beards, mustaches, and other facial styles depending on what is currently available in your game build.
This makes the barber shop one of the main appearance customization locations in Paralives outside of initial character creation.
What happens after saving the haircut
After confirming the changes with the check mark button, your Para immediately updates to the new appearance. There is no extra waiting period or appointment system involved. You can leave the shop right away and continue playing with the updated look.
The haircut system is designed to feel immersive without being overly complicated, which fits well with Paralives’ life simulation style.
